soithern Memories.
A cotemporary very reasonably asks
the questions, "Will it ever become
burdensome or annoying to the people
of the South to hear of the Southern
Confederacy-its glories, its triumphs,
its defeats ''
The question lie more than once
occurred to us, and we sometimes fear
that, with a large las of our people
the records of the grand struggle for
Southern indepeudenoe have become
wearisome.
We are all, more or less, yielding
to the ia6fluences which are operating
to bury the memories along with th
animosities (if the past. The age i,
decidedly inaterialistie, and we art
hurried along so rapidly as it wire
upon an iron track that all of the olo

and devotion tecin to be growin,
common-place and tedious ; a soldie
with an armless elueve daugling b)
his side, or a wooden leg to supply t
lost limb, excites but little interest.
an appeal for charity does not receivt
.more attention ecause it may cotut,
from a widow and children who wer.
left without support when an enemy'
bullet pierced a gray jacket, or whet.
lingering disease conmuned the life o
a husband and father in some hospita
away from boune and perhaps friendt.
And this disposition to ignore si
much that, should be cherished dot..
not proceed rom any success of loyal
ty to the powers that be, but on ae
count of sheer indifference and that
forgetfulness whtiolh is so ungrateful
and it is becoming more obviousevery
year. Our memories are not cherish.
ed w ith the same fonduess that they
were when fresh, and, with but too
many, the affections which were born
of the war lie buried far deeper than
the heroes who fell in battle or died
in hospitals. This is seen by the
sMaa1 ntuiber of persons who gener.
ally engage in the floral decoration
of the graves of our fallen soldiers.
It is painfully evident in theunsightly
condition of neglected cemeteries
*hero hundreds lie buried. Butsome
complain that it is a waste of money
to devote it to the erection of monu.
ments and the walling of cemeteries.
For this reason the bleached bones of
the fallen have whitened ploughed
up battle-fields, and then moulded to
dust and mingled with the ommon
earth. But such men have always
pleaded against such "useless" ex
penditures since the day when the
womau poured precious ointment on
the Saviour's head and a disciple re.
buked her for a waste of what might
have been sold and brought money
into the treasury.
Let it be borne id mind that the
South contended for a principle which
is itself ETERNAI, "and although the
aitmk which so long and so glori
ously upheld it have been conquered,
et this controllihg principle Is an
stuperishable treasure which is beyond
surrendering, and n'o earthly power can
retrench the smallest fraction from it.
Then, ought we not to esteem it no
lesa privilege than aduty to hold
in gratefulrm breo tho~se who
freely gave up life Itself in defenditig
what we yet believe to be right ?
* And -besides, right or wrong, we
should delight to honor the memory
of every soldier because ho was actu
ated by pure motives. And if that
time should ever come when we of
the South shall cease to cherish these
memories, we shall then show our
selves unworthy to be called citizens
under any govero ment, for he who de
sorts a living comrade or forgets a
fallen one, IA fit only for treason,

CrIminals in England seldom escape
discovery and punishment. No sooner
is a crime committed than the officers
of the law are placed-upon the track
of the offender, and though years may
elapse, in the end they almost invaria

?the Minister of Education with an
' ample cabinet, employed ic the ad
i'ministration of public schools and in
devising and executing measures for
thir improvement. Onder the Min
ister and cabinet there is in' each
province a provincial council, repor.
ting directly to the Minister. The
provinces are subdivided into circles,
at thehead of each cirolo being a Lan
drath, aided by an inspector and a oler

School books are uniform, and the
salaries of teachers are regulated by
law. The number of pupils for each
teacher is limited. Ttto Schools
average about one hundred and twen
ty pupils. Boys and girls are taught
in the same classes. Religious in
struction (rotestant) is the invaria
ble rule, but the attendance of reli
gious instruction is not obligatory
upon the children of dissentients.
Ntch parish supports its own School
if able ; otherwise it is aided by the
circle, province or State. Teachers
are exempt from military duty while

The rule of the government over
the schoolmaster is despotically exac.
ting, hut its very strictness prevents
the master from tyrannihing. over his
pupils. For this reason, and because
health and comfort are consulted in
the structure, furniture and surround
ings of school-houses, and in the
division of time between study and
recreation, Prussian children love
their schools and benefit by thoem a -
cordingly.
Biut the common schools are only
the base or ground-work for a magni
-ficent superstructure of education
made up of schools of agriculture, of
mining, of engineering, of architec
ture, of navigation, of verterinary
science, of law and of' theology,
as well as normal schools for
the education and practice of teach
ers. in addition to these and
to military schools, Prussia has nine
great universities of which that of Ber
lin alone is attended by' more than
twenty-five hundred students. In a
time of peace it would be a moderate
estimate to say that about 100,000
males from eighteen to thirty-five are
pursuing the biranches of higher educa
tion. The range of instruction in
these hig her institutions comprehends
the whiolo areana of theoretical and
applied human knowledge. Gor
man intellect is laborious, bold and
free. The great minds are informing
energizing and inspiring the masses
continually. It would require a
volume tocoatalogue the intellectual
enterprises now in progress beyond
the Rhine. The Prussiana especially
have for cultivated intellect a pro

great minds, and universal education
enables all Prusuians to appreohato

A correspondent of the Londo

transit of the letters has been rapid.
Last year, it may be remembered,
there was a very destructive earth
quake in the, in one sense, adjoining
British distriot of Cauhar. A shook
at 8 in the morning, snd a stronger
shock at noon wore followed at sunset
by an earthquake which leveled the
whole town and killed or bruised
half the population. The missionaries
escaped to their garden, and only one
of their servants p rlhod. Tho
"large and tplendid(1" Lamaserai, in
habited by 3,000 Lamas, fell with a
crash.
The Chinese official reports, which
Dr. Chauveau tell us are a little 4x
aggerated, estimate the los< of human
life at 417 Lania priests, 57 soldiers
and 2,812 "common people." A
series of earthquake shocks were felt
as far as Pung-nong-tang, the place at

UNDIPLOIATI.-Sone undiplomat
ic ruffian in a Loridon newspaper, re
ferring to a direct contradiction in
the statements of Bismarck . and
the celebrated Russell, of the Londoii
Times, says one or the other of theui
has lied. This is a most libelous and
scandalous allegation, growing out of
ignorance of the fellow making it of
the habits and customs of diplomacy.
The proper thing to saiy is that Bik
marok and Russel hazve comoe upon a
difference in the construction of a
fact, but that negotiations have been
entered into whereby it is hoped that
the statements of both gentlemen,
though of a diametrically opposite
character, will prove to be entirely
correct. The boner of two great na

of diplomacy will render it compaira
tively easy.

It implies not onl3 deep sagacity, but
likewise that sort of liberality which
is sure to attract the attention of the
trade. Many establishments forego
the benefits of advertising from a
spit it of mero penuriousness. They
reason this way: "8hould we incur
in outlay of fifty or a hundred, or
five hundred dollars, possibly we may
never get it back again-then It woqld
be thrown away." These are timid
or stingy men always, and properli

five years they have waited, ana no

waiting, in many instances, but we
can assure them the-mule will never

If for five years the colored man has
